NASA’s concept plane to fly New York-Sydney in two hours
American space agency National Aeronautics and Space Administration is planning to develop hypersonic passenger planes that can fly you from New York to Sydney in two hours flat!
The US space agency wants to make an aircraft that would travel at five times the speed of sound and bring in a new age of aircraft akin to a turbo-charged Concorde, reports The Daily Mail. These aircraft will fly through the Earth’s atmosphere and slash flight times around the world to a few hours at most.
The project is aimed at making a reusable aircraft that could fly to Mars. The plane will need to carry passengers through the thin air and land safely while it is being made re-useable.
NASA plans to allocate $5 million each year over three years to make the design of the new craft a reality as part of its 2010 aeronautics proposal.
According to the proposal, engineers will look into ‘entry, descent and landing of high-mass vehicles entering into planetary atmospheres’ and ‘airbreathing access to space’.
“The hypersonic heating environment, coupled with the emphasis on reusability, creates additional severe technology challenges for materials, material coatings, and structures that not only carry the aerodynamic loads of the air, but also repeatedly sustain high thermal loads requiring long-life and durability while minimizing weight,” the proposal read.
“Space access launch vehicles must be lightweight, fully reusable and easily maintained if low-cost access to space is to be achieved,” according to the proposal.
In June, an experimental aircraft traveled at a record-breaking speed of 7,200 kmph.
Hypersonic means travelling at five times the speed of sound. The supersonic jet, the Concorde, flew at twice the speed of sound.
Earlier, this year Richard Branson-owned Virgin Galactic’s suborbital spaceship made its first solo glide test flight from Mojave Air and Space Port in California, and it continues to undergo strict tests before it can carry tourists to space.
